Soldier of Fortune Preview
by Clay "Huntsman" Mitchell, Sep 06, 1999 6:22pm PDTU-Games has a preview of Raven's upcoming Quake2 engine game, Soldier of Fortune. This is based on a meeting with Raven and Activision at the ECTS, and contains some screenshots. They talk about some of the technology and realism incorporated in the game and how Raven employed an ex-military consultant to get the game as close to a simulation as possible.
After the bloody horrors of Kingpin, you'd wonder if the world could be shocked to any greater degree by sheer bloodthirstiness in a first person shooter. Step in Soldier of Fortune, then, with an incredible array of corpses dancing to the tune of a hundred bullets ripping through them with deadly precision. However, the slightly depressing bloodbath of Kingpin here gives way to the intrigue of a genuinely well constructed simulation of mercenary warfare.
